Even if these four things do happen, the point of this idea was to try and find a way to avoid these things from having to happen. For someone to be able to give an order on CT, it shouldn't have to come to an admin muting people or someone screaming. I was hoping this suggestion would lead to a way to avoid these situations from happening. There would be a definite answer and no conflicts or questions. There is no arguing who's order is right, there is no argument of whos order to follow. I don't care too much that the warden discussion is wrapped up. I had an idea that I believe has at least some merit behind it and intended to generate constructive discussion. As I said in the OP, even if this does crash and burn I would like for discussion to occur. My personal mentality is very much even if it backfires on me and I get clowned or whatever, if I can try and get the gears turning in people's heads and try and generate further ideas and discussion that can propel a server or the community forward, I will.

That's 30! If anyone else is interested in playing I can put you down as a backup in case people don't show up. I had originally intended to expand the player count, but I don't want to risk server lag. Thank you guys for the interest and I hope to see everyone there January 25th! Will bump this in the future to remind people they signed up.

Hadn't heard of that before, but just looked it up and it looks fine to me.

Optifine and shaders will be allowed. Nothing else.

I used to run at the gym and take jogs around my neighborhood, but I now have a bad knee at the age of 18

Cheating will not be allowed. (looking at you too, @Cody. )

The intent would for it to be accessible to everyone who can play CT. I thought I emphasized it's literally just upgrading first order but I guess I didn't make that clear enough, my bad. You would just do !hg or something like that when there were 30+ on. You're misunderstanding what I was saying. I was saying when it was being discussed by CA+, that doesn't mean that the head guard would only be a CA+ command. It would be accessible for all players.

I personally agree that we should seek to simplify the rules so that they are easy to follow, but I don't really think this is something trivial. If anything, this system would create less confusion because if two CTs (one being the head guard) give an order, there is no question as to which order to follow. In the current system, if two CTs give an order at pretty much the same time, it creates confusion and people get shot for no reason most of the time because they don't know which to follow, and CTs sometimes don't know which order to enforce. The goal of this would be to provide clarity where the order can't be questioned, and the order can be had in a high pop server. I don't really see how someone could see it as not having fun by having someone who can give definite orders where there are no questions as to what to follow. I can understand a little confusion at first because there would be some nuances with this, but just like everything else that is added, people would get used to it within a week. That's not really what I was implying in saying that. It was more along the lines of how any real order can be given over a freeday, just translate that to the head guard giving an order over any different guard. I'm a bit iffy on the whole muting thing... It certainly has its pros but I fear it would get abused too much to where they would intentionally be using voice so other CTs can't talk. Other CTs can give valuable information such as KOSes and callouts. As far as people applying for it, I think that is honestly ridiculous. It doesn't really make sense to have people apply for something that would be a fundamental part of the server. I can see where you're coming from so that it doesn't get abused, but I don't think that's the right way to go about it.

I advertised this one as solo. If this one does great I can certainly look into doing more with this event in the future, such as teams.

This is something I would usually bring right to the ATs as an idea, but this topic is something I feel the people that would be affected by this most should definitely share their opinions and further suggestions on this. This isn't some full-fledged idea since this is literally a shower thought, but anyway... So I understand we have more or less wrapped up the discussion of a possibility of a warden, but I think this could be something that would provide a balance of keeping the chaos that our server thrives on while being able to maintain some sort of order when populations are high and the server is hectic. Another thing that was brought up when discussing the concept of warden at the CA+ level was how to make warden unique and attract players instead of being just another Jailbreak server with a warden. What I bring to the table is the concept of a Head Guard which is essentially a First Order+. This ideally would be activated when the server hits 30 pop where the teams would be around 10:20 ratio. This would include: 1. Having the powers of !fo as it is now, but then the ability to override any order by another CT until the 2:00 mark. This would allow for the Head Guard to maintain order if CTs tried to give repetitively shitty orders, or if they were conflicting with each other. The Head Guard would give the final say on an order so there would be no questions. This would go until 2:00 so the head guard has the option to choose & run a death game without confusion from other CTs. This also allows the other CTs to give orders past the 2:00 mark where the round is more than likely at the point of getting close to LRs or it's full of rebellers where more voices are needed anyway. 2. (Potentially) Having some sort of color change to their model while they are Head Guard This would create a risk factor for taking Head Guard by making you stick out like a sore thumb. Higher risk means more power. ----- Potential Questions: Would any other CT be allowed to give special orders or run a voluntary death game? Yes, but the Head Guard would be able to revoke the special order like any other CT could as well. Couldn't someone abuse this to give bad orders over and over again? Well technically yes, but a way of avoiding this is by setting the cooldown to this feature to somewhere between 3-5 rounds per person. This would prevent frequent abuse. If someone were abusing this to the point where it disrupted the server, I'm sure an admin could handle the situation properly. Could freedays be given during the time of First Guard? Yes, the rule should stay the same about freedays, but I think this would be one instance where another CT could override the Head Guard. If the Head Guard took head guard to spam a freeday order, a normal CT should be able to give real orders. ----- This idea isn't complete by any means since I'm writing this at 3:15 in the morning and I thought of it in the shower, but please share your thoughts and feel free to add to this idea and we can see where this discussion goes. This could lead to something or crash and burn, but it can't hurt to generate discussion. Not only does it get people actively debating on something, but it could also generate ideas people didn't even know they had. Thanks for anything you input in advance.

Congrats boys. @Alex @Infinityward @Poke come on TS to get trained when you can.

My resolution is 1440x1080 (nah but I could go for losing another 15 pounds, lost 40 last year)

I'm not really sure how good of an idea this would be since just by skimming gameMEs server list, the majority of populated/popular servers for FFA are Dust 2. I personally didn't see anything other than D2 besides 2 office servers.

Bump! Just about a week left to get your submissions in!! Some great prizes for normal style up for grabs this month!

I'm personally not opposed to hosting a long terraria event as long as we have some sort of structure in mind. What we did today was rather disorganized and didn't really have an end goal. If we all go in with an objective and that is the purpose of the event, I think this idea could have some merit. I don't think a server is really justifiable but I think having a long event over one day (2-3 hour?) would be more of an option.

Correct.
